Rev. Doug Minton, pastor in the Twin Cities, Minnesota, joins host Rev. AJ Espinosa to study Joshua 22.

Joshua sends the troops back home; God has given them rest from war. But in chapter 22, that seems far from obvious. This rest is only a temporary respite, with powerful enemies remaining in most of the tribes’ allotments.And peacetime begins to look truly fleeting when the western tribes decide to march against the eastern tribes! In the confrontation that follows, it becomes clear that the western tribes are full of bias, fear, and suspicion. They are inclined to think that only their side is truly “God’s country.” Crisis is averted in the end, but we too often fall into such traps, labeling ourselves and our fellow Christians with divisive thoughts&words. We need an altar that testifies to unity, which prefigures the Sacrament of our Lord Jesus.
